Yes, Dear was an American television sitcom which aired from 2000 to 2006 on CBS. It starred Anthony Clark, Jean Louisa Kelly, Mike O'Malley and Liza Snyder. These actors had recently starred in their own series failed sitcoms; critics ravaged it as one of the worst new shows of the season and a likely candidate for first cancellations of the season. Instead, Yes, Dear scored surprisingly solid ratings for CBS over the next four seasons, in spite of little or no promotion and a number of timeslot changes. In spring 2004, CBS pulled the plug on the program, but later ordered an additional 13 episodes for midseason. After canceling Center of the Universe, CBS began airing the new Yes, Dear episodes on Wednesday, February 16, 2005 in the 9:30 p.m. EST timeslot. The show did better than many expected and CBS ordered an additional season of 22 episodes for 2005-2006, but that order was later cut to 13.
CBS confirmed to The Washington Post that the show will not return in the 2006-2007 season [1]. Yes, Dear is currently aired in syndication on cable station TBS. The show aired in local syndication in 2005-06; in the fall of 2006, 20th Television, the syndication subsidiary of 20th Century Fox, took the show out of barter syndication and replaced it with "Still Standing".
Cast
Plot synopsisClark and Kelly portrayed Greg and Kim Warner; Greg was a motion picture executive, Kim a stay-at-home mother to Sam and Emily. Kim's sister Christine and her husband Jimmy (and their two sons, Dominic and Logan) lived in the Warners' guest house, where the Jimmy's lazy, and easygoing approach to life in general contrasted with the more uptight and snobbish Greg's demeanor. The plots revolved around child rearing, work (especially after Greg got Jimmy a job as the movie studio's security guard) and sex, and often involved various combinations of the four adult characters plotting against the others - such as Jimmy and Greg trying to manipulate each other, or their respective wives, or vice-versa. In addition, Jimmy became the focus of a larger number of outlandish and stupid plots, including get-rich-quick schemes. Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
After Greg is unable to find new work and the discovery of toxic mold in their home, the Warners are forced to move in with the Hughes' in a role-reversal early in the sixth season. Eventually, Savitsky latches on with a Japanese movie studio and rehires Greg, and the Warners are able to move back into their home. In the final scene of the series finale, an earthquake strikes Los Angeles; the Warners' home receives minimal damage, but the Hughes' are apparently not so lucky, as they show up at the Warners' front door asking if the guest house is still available. Spoilers end here.
